Description

Besides the ATAR and UMAT, the interview is the last remaining assessment medical schools use to select the best candidates each year. However, it’s despite its overwhelming importance (most interviews are 20 mins to 90 mins long but worth as much or more than the UMAT), many med school candidates tend to overlook the complexity of the interview and arrive on the day blatantly unprepared. Since interviews are held as early as around the early 20th of Nov (yes, anywhere between a few days to 10 days after your final exams), the term 3 holidays become a critical time to start preparing.

iCanMed will be covering:

How interviews are conducted, what interviewers look for in each response & how marks are awarded

Latest trends and tendencies for interviewer preferences

Introducing and dissecting the challenges that come with each of the SEVEN question types asked in the 2018 medical school interviews

Common mistakes and misconceptions students have about interviews

Discussing actual interview questions and the best ways to plan, organise and deliver answers that score big time

The steps you need to undertake for the best interview preparation from the free workshop until your interview

iCanMed is all about making sure that all students receive the best advice, recommendations and strategies for interview preparation. With over 600 past students currently studying medicine across medical schools in NZ and Australia, a team of assessment writers, educators and former medical school selectors, learning about the interview and gaining acceptance has never been this straightforward.
